HMS Diamond (1713)

The HMS Diamond was a frigate in the service of Great Britain's Royal Navy during the early 18th century. The Diamond was stationed in the Caribbean Sea, and it fought in several battles of the Anglo-Spanish War after 1715. In October 1718, the ship was attacked by the Spanish Navy in the northern Caribbean, and the attack left many Spanish and British soldiers dead on the deck of the ship. The pirate Edward Kenway and his ship Jackdaw came across the burning ship while sailing towards North Carolina, and Kenway quickly looted the goods from all of the ship's chests before returning to his ship as the Diamond sunk.
